# Need a vacuum review! I'm in the market for a new vacuum.. my two Inus were too muck for my Eureka! I cannot afford a dyson, but need something up for the challenge of dog hair, stairs, dust, dirt, etc... Any suggestions?

If you don't want a used Dyson, I'll talk to Kurt. He loves vacuum cleaners. ## wliu003 · 2009-05-06T14:00:34.000Z I use the roomba 580. It hope help with stairs but i think it does a great job of picking up dirt and pet hair. if you have a busy schedule and are unable to vacuum everyday the roomba has a scheduler that will vacuum by itself. ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-05-06T14:02:08.000Z We have some sort of hoover wind tunnel, bagless. It works well if you keep the filters clean and don't try and over stuff the collecting bin. ## sunyata · 2009-05-06T14:22:12.000Z I have an electrolux that works AWESOME. It does use bags, but has some amazing suction. It does not even blink during moulting season. I am not sure of the model, I will have to look this weekend when we move it. ## KFontaine04 · 2009-05-06T14:24:18.000Z I prefer the bagged to the bagless just because I found with two huskies and now two shibas that the bagless can get clogged and loose suction. I have a cheap dirt devel from wal mart that is amazing. ## Darwin67 · 2009-05-06T23:31:28.000Z I have a dirt-devil bagless, but after having it for 3 years I'll never get another bagless...you empty them and the stupid HEPA filter falls out and you have to pick it up (EEEEWwwwwww) and then it gets clogged and the HEPA filters cost like 22.00 to replace it every few months (That is if you can FIND the filters as they always seem to be out of stock)...what you pay in hepa filters/bags you could by 2 dysons! Needless to say, this summer we are planning on getting the Animal Dyson. I think we'll be going through HSN.Com...where i can make like 4 $125.00 payments with NO INTEREST :O) ## sujewel · 2009-05-07T00:41:06.000Z I should mention that I LOVE my Dyson. Absolutely adore it. Never looses sucktion, don't have to touch anything icky. The only thing negative I would have to say about it is that it is heavy. Carrying it from one floor to another can be fun. But, I have a canister one, so it's not quite as heavy as the uprights. I peeked at craigslist for some used ones, and they were selling for about $150 in the Philly area. When we purchased our Dyson, Linen N' Things (way before they went out of biz) had $100 off, plus we had a 20% off coupon and a $5 off coupon. ## Mejinx · 2009-05-07T03:39:58.000Z Sebo Felix Its expensive, but its one of the best uprights out there. Will out preform and outlast a dyson. Google them or even check them out on you tube. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-05-07T12:18:28.000Z Sebo Felix looks impressive! Maybe that will go on my xmas list! I've always wanted a Dyson, I just can't bring myself to buy them. I settled on a Bissell Power Groom Pet (bagless). So far it works really well, too well... I was appalled at how much our previous vacuum didn't pick up! It has a great attachment called a Pet Contour (rubbery) which works a lot better on the stairs than the mini vacuum hose attachments most vacuums come with. So far, I'm happy. I have 30 days to test its durability against shiba hair, though! So we'll see! ## *JackBurton* · 2009-05-08T14:57:44.000Z I have a Meile Neptune. It is a canister vac but has no issues sucking up the fur around the house. On top of that it comes with a hardwood floor brush. That thing rocks no more sweeping ever again.
